It's horrible, but it shouldn't shock anyone. The criminalization of the drug trade ruins so many lives and kills so many people.
If drugs were not criminalized, this wouldn't have happened.

On the one hand, Farage is a monster. On the other hand, with the UK's present government criminalizing basically everything in the entire world, likening it to North Korea is really quite apt. It's hard to know what to say when two vile institutions have knives at each other's necks.

31.08.2025 10:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0ICE has begun sending people to countries they have no ties to. Immigrants are being sent to countries where they have no connection โ some on the brink of civil war and others notorious for human rights violations. In March 2025, ICE began disappearing people to El Salvadorโs CECOT mega- prison, a known torture site, without notifying their loved ones or attorneys, and without due process. In August 2025, the U.S. continued disappearing immigrants โ this time to Rwanda, a country with well-documented human rights abuses and no safeguards in place to receive them. n April 2025, Trump said that he was considering disappearing U.S. citizens to foreign countries.
The U.S. government tried to silence the men they cruelly sent to CECOT, but thanks to their bravery โ and the work of their families, advocates, and lawyers โ we know some of their stories:erce Egbunik Reyes Barrios, a soccer player and father, fled Venezuela to seek asylum in the U.S. Though his hearing was set for April 17, he was sent to CECOT a month earlier. His family and lawyers are adamant that he has no gang ties, and still, he was sent to El Salvador, a country he has no connection to. Anyelo Jose Sarabia Gonzalez was living in Texas with his two sisters when ICE detained him without warning during an asylum check-in on January 31. The reason? While living in Arlington, TX, Anyelo got a hand tattoo that most teen boys would think was โcoolโ: a rose with $100 bills instead of petals. On April 4, Anyelo turned 20 inside the walls of the CECOT mega-prison alone.
ICEโs $30 billion budget is larger than most militaries. In July 2025, Trump signed the so-called โBig, Beautiful Billโ into law, handing ICE an additional $30 billion per year to carry out his mass deportation agenda. Even before this surge in funding, ICE was already out of control, routinely violating peopleโs rights and putting lives in danger. This new budget paves the way for even more abuse, disappearances, and family separation.

The EU wants to mandate backdoor access to your messaging apps, including those with E2E encryption, under the guise of stopping the spread of illegal images of minors. Don't fall for it! You protect young people by educating them about sex and consent, NOT by spying on the public's private chats!
